Course Description

This course describes the skills and knowledge required to research and experiment with various techniques and media for the realisation of public art work. It outlines the way public art work is produced through the use of experimentation and ongoing refinement. It is a specialisation course and refers to a specific art form. Installation work generally uses or combines one or more media artforms and skills in those artforms would be required. This work would usually be carried out independently, although guidance would be available if required.
